Chapter 653: The Tail is Shedding Fur
Mu Qingyu is now in a bit of an awkward situation, feeling stuck in a rut.
On the one hand, she really didn't want to embarrass the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan and the Nine-Tailed Immortal Venerable who doted on her so much. On the other hand, she was extremely unwilling to submit to someone because of this. It would be better to die and be done with it. But if that were the case, wouldn't the Fox Clan's efforts over the past 1,400 years have been meaningless?
This feeling of being caught in a dilemma is really uncomfortable.
But since she had already run away, Mu Qingyu had no choice but to bite the bullet. She was spoiled and, with the cultivation of a Xuanxian, she didn't need to eat. But her mouth and stomach had become too picky, and suddenly not having anything to eat made Mu Qingyu feel very uncomfortable.
After not being able to satisfy her appetite for so many days, she finally managed to get a meal!
Just didn't expect it.
There was an unexpected surprise!
No, it should be said that it was another opportunity!
"Since you trust me, that makes things easier. Are you alright now?"
Gu Heng confirmed it repeatedly.
Mu Qingyu nodded vigorously.
"Alright, let's meet in Fanqing City tomorrow, and I will give you the medicine that I have refined."
Gu Heng naturally didn't have any medicine on hand, so he had to go back to the desolate city where his medicine furnace was located. He couldn't refine medicine without a medicine furnace.
Fanqing City is a city that must be passed through on the way to Muyue City. It is located at the end of this road. Anyway, Gu Heng has no intention of returning to Yaoyun City. He has killed four demons here, one of whom was a waiter in a restaurant. If he is investigated, he will definitely be exposed.
Being in an unfamiliar place, and with the strict laws of this Immortal Demon Kingdom, he didn't want to become a wanted criminal as soon as he arrived.
"Okay, then I'll wait for Brother Gu at the Zhaiyue Tower in Fanqing City."
Mu Qingyu acted especially naive at this moment, believing everything he said without any doubt.
Gu Heng never expected that he could gain the complete trust of this fox spirit.
A bit too fast.
But it's good too, it saves me from having to explain myself.
"Then I'll take my leave for now. Take care, Miss Qingyu. See you tomorrow."
After agreeing on a time and place, Gu Heng quickly headed in one direction. Mu Qingyu watched his departing figure with hopeful eyes.
Hope always arrives suddenly and coincidentally.
Twilight City.
The capital of the Twilight Immortal Demon Kingdom is also the main city of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan.
At this moment, Mu Miaoying, the patriarch of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, known as the "Nine-Tailed Immortal Venerable," is receiving a distinguished guest from the White Feather Medicine Palace, the White Feather Immortal Venerable himself!
"Bai Yu, did you come here specifically to confront me?"
Mu Miaoying silently raised her eyes and looked at Bai Yu, the immortal with flowing white robes and an air of otherworldly grace.
"Excuse me for speaking frankly, but this is a family matter of my Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan. It is rather presumptuous for an outsider like you to interfere."
But Bai Yu Immortal Venerable only smiled and said, "Clan Chief Mu, you are mistaken. It is a done deal that our two families are preparing to form a marriage alliance. My grandson is so fond of the little princess, but now she has disappeared... so naturally I have to come and ask about it."
Hearing him say that, Mu Miaoying frowned slightly. She couldn't refute him.
But if Mu Qingyu really doesn't want to marry, Mu Miaoying naturally won't force him. However, Bai Yu Xianzun is currently the only one who can ensure Mu Qingyu's safety, so she has no choice.
Without the Soul-Condensing and Calamity-Controlling Pill personally refined by Immortal Venerable Baiyu, the Fox Emperor's true spirit could not be suppressed!
Mu Qingyu would either die from having her life force drained, or her body would be directly possessed.
For over 1,400 years, the entire fox clan, and she herself, have paid an enormous price to help Mu Qingyu grow into adulthood. If they were to give up now, the sunk cost would be far too high.
"Besides, if she doesn't come back soon, she'll be the one in trouble, not us."
Immortal Baiyu stroked his beard, his smile gentle.
Mu Miaoying pursed her lips and remained silent.
In fact, even Immortal Venerable Baiyu didn't have the ability to completely and permanently erase the Fox Emperor's true spirit from Mu Qingyu's body. To deal with the methods left behind by the Immortal Emperor level, one would need a countermeasure of equal level!
This means that only a pill of the Immortal Emperor rank that is "the right medicine" can save Mu Qingyu!
That Soul-Condensing and Calamity-Controlling Pill is merely a delaying tactic.
But there isn't a single Immortal Emperor-level pill in this Little Mystic Heaven Realm!
This world can't even raise a true Immortal Venerable; their "Thirteen Immortal Venerables" are only half-step Immortal Venerables.
Therefore, Mu Miaoying was truly powerless to help.
Immortal Venerable Baiyu wasn't exactly a threat, but the price to get him to refine pills was never low. Mu Miaoying had almost used up all her favors, so the rest naturally had to be repaid. However, with so many pills, the entire fox clan's resources were limited.
"...She'll figure it out; you don't need to worry about it."
Mu Miaoying said coldly, "Don't you have other things to do? Gu Yun seems to need you right now. If I personally go to handle such a small matter, he'll complain that I'm wasting your precious time."
"Well, I'm just letting you know. My grandson is very impatient; he's already gone to find your precious princess himself."
"It's better for the two of them to talk about this themselves."
After finishing his words, Immortal Venerable Baiyu flicked his sleeves and left, his gait quite elegant.
Mu Miaoying glared in the direction he left, gritting her teeth.
This guy, using his title as the number one alchemist in the Little Mystic Heaven Realm, suddenly put pressure on her!
And recently, she's been under pressure from more than just this one person.
A human recently arrived in Twilight Moon City, a blacksmith prodigy, who even issued a challenge to the most powerful blacksmith in their fox clan. These events have caused Mu Miaoying's nine tails to shed fur!
Shedding is so annoying!
Mu Miaoying took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and sat down to close her eyes and regulate her breathing.
